My design for the stage adaptation of The Haunting of Hill House began with my passion for its source novel by Shirley Jackson.  With a script full of nods to the supernatural genre, I wanted the design to reflect its rich history. I distinguished the two rooms of Hill House by color to reflect the story’s connection to Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Masque of the Red Death”.  I also hand-painted each portrait as each family member that haunts the house.
